BANDED MURDERERS.
Negro MasOns Who Avenge Injuries to
Their Brother Members.

Negro MasOns Who Avenge Injuries to
Their Brother Members,
GREENWOOD, Miss, October 10.-Prophet
Segur, Mike Brown, Robert Brown, Major
Malcolm Hinton, Robert owen, Wash
Johnson and Wash Scott, the negroes
charged with the killing of Harry Taylor
and wife, after a hearing before Justice
Parker, have been, with the exception of
the last named, who gave bond, committed
to iail without the benefit of bond, to
await the action of the grand jury and
have been brought here for safe keeping.
Morton Ford, who is also in jail, will have
a preliminary examination to-day and
probably some others not yet arrested.
There is clear evidence against them and
they will no doubt be convicted.
During the preliminary trial it was dis
covered that q resolution to kill Mr..
Kerney, a white man who had fight with
one of their brothers, whose arm he had
broken, was paced during one OF their
meetings, but the time appointed for the
deed had not yet come. Two
days were consumed in taking
testimony and many other negroes
have been implicated. There is no doubt
that q colored man, a member of the Dry
Bayou Lodge of negro Masons, was killed
by Harry Taylor, and that both Harry
Taylor and his wife had disappeared. A
body answering to Taylor's being found in
the river with marks of violence upon it,
The body had been weighted down.
The lodges In this country were organ
lied by q negro named Stringer, who
claims to be working under the Authority
of the Grand Orient of France. Their
lodge was founded in 1882. Several other
lodges have been founded in this section.
The colored Masons are not recognized by
the white Masons at all, and their order is
not under the authority of the old York
order of Masonry. 1t is hard to say
whether they have an obligation that
teaches them TO svenge, STAY, ETC., or
whether they construe the obligations they
take to suit themselves. The white people
of the country are determined to break up
their lodges and to punish the guilty men,
bers of this death dealing order. The
Circuit Court, when it meets, will decide
upon matters.

They Denouuee the Interference OF the
Police az Union Square.
New YoRK, October 9.-Ihe trouble with
the police at the Progressive Labor party
msss-meetiDg at Union Square. Saturday
night, restored the vranglfng factions of
the Central Labor Union to at least tenn
POI airy harmony at their meeting to-day.
Delegate Hawkes. printer, who is pro.
nounced George man, offered resolutions
denouDcipg the police for interference at
the Union Square meeting, and they were
seconded by several George men. Delegate
Kay burn, in speaking on the resolution
said that the circumstances which had
brought about the Chicago Haymsrket
bomb throwing were identical with those
that precipitsted last nights onslaught
upon the peaceably assembled workingmen
of New York.
The resol utions first offered were not
deemed sufficiently strong, and they we're
rewritten and unanimously adopted
They declared thai the meetiog on Union
Square had been called TO discuss pnliIical
questions that it was peace able meeting
that it had been interrupted by the police
in brutal and unwarranted manner; that
such seton on the part of the police was
apt to bring about state of affairs whe
citizens would be compelled to repel such
brutal attacks by unlawful means in the
defense OF their constitutional rights, and
that the action of the police must be con-
demLed, SIS they bad, instead of protecting
the peecesble citizens, infringed upon
their rights and provoked bloody riot.
A committee was appointed to present the
resolutions to the Board of Police Com
missioners.
III. Cumming, candidate of the United
Labor party, for State Treasurer, made a
speech denounciDg the action of the police
and asserting that workingmen must stand
together against the common foe, the cap
italists.
The German fresco painters union,
which was suspended at the last meeting
was reinstated. The lockout of the brass
workers was discussed. and they were as.
sured of the Central Labor Unions sup
port. The new scale of Typographical
Union No. 5, which goes into effect to-
morrow, was endorsed, aRd complaint
that Peter Doelger, the brewer, is employ
ing uon- Union men on buildings lie is
erecting, was referred to the boycott c)m-
mittee.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

delegates at Minneapolis Pleased at Pow
derIy's Reports as to the Church.
MINNEAPOLIS, October 10.-The knights
of Labor Assembly convened as the usual
hour this morning, but little business of
importance was handled, the time being
consumed in hearing the reports and APP
pointing committees. There was not a
very full attendance, and the hotel Hobbies
svarmed with knights. Among the ma
jOrity of those here was an unmistaksble
feeling of satisfaction at the sentiment
presented by Mr.. Powderly in his report
on the attitude OF their order and the
Catholic Church. The Associated Press
representative talked with Knights of all
religious denominations, and they were
loud in their praise OF Mr.. Powderly's re-
port and bis personal attitude.
Master Workman Lowry, OF d. A. III,
Bradford, Pa, said: Yes I must confess
there was considerable doubt with regard
to Mr.. Powderly's feelings, as well as some
speculation as to what the sentiment of
this report wonld be, but / am GER
tain that every man in my dis
trict is satisfied this morning There
are not such large number of Catho-
lies ia my district and am Methodist,

and 1 am proud of Mr.. Powderly, and re-
fer with satisfaction to his remarks as to
keepingup the dignity of the order. The
remarks as to tue attitude toward An
archism also struck home, and to-day we
stand upon q well defined and indepen-
dent platform that every member under
stands.
John a. Hauer, Master Workman OF D
A. lis, comprising fourteen assemblies,
with headquarters at Springfield, Ohio, is a
pleasant gentleman of unassuming man
ners. He said: There was some mis-
givings among certain members of our dis.
trict as to xhat.the resuli.in question would
be, but personally never sWerved for a
moment in my belief that Mr.. Powderly,
although a devout Catholic, would do Just
as he has done. am an English Lutheran,
and there is a performance of that de-
nomination in my district. There has been
much outside speculation with regard to
religious sentiment embodying any portion
of our platform, but now no one can be-
lieve that sectarianism eyer had mention
in our constitution, and we stand on our
personal dignity, and every member is free
to believe and think as he pleases."

Their Con ditiOn According to the Govern
ment's Monthly Report
WASHINGTON, October 10.-The statistical
report Of the Department of Agriculture
makes an increase of only half of one per
cent. in the condition of corn. The past
month has been very generally favorable,
but the status of q large part OF the crop
was fixed at the date of the previous report.
The general average of the condition is 7S 3
instead of Y 30. The average of the seven
surplus States is "a 8 instead of Ga 2 in
September. This is a lower condition than
has ever been reported, except in 1881,
when the average was nearly seven points
lower and the average yield 1876 bushels.
The indication is now for yield OF q
small fraction over twenty bushels per
acre. The exact area, exclusive of that
cut for fodder as not worth harvesting is
not yet determined. Slight uncertainty
regarding il may cause a variation in the
final record of one or two per cent. from
1,500, 900 bushel
The test OF threshing has not materially
enlarged the average rate of the wheat
yield, which appears to be about Ills
bushels, or four tenths OF bushel less
than last year. The increase of acreage,
which is large il Dakota, will make partial
compensation and bring the product near
ly or quite to $50 000. 600 bushels. The rate
sylvsnia 10 5 bushels; Ohio IL bushels;
Michigan 13 bussels; Indiana 1876
bushels; Illinois Is 2 bushels; Wisconsin
1913 bushels; Minnesota Q bushels; Iowa
10 bushels; Missouri IL bushels; Kansas
90 bushels; Nebraska 107 bushels; Da-
kota 1875 bushels; California 13 bushels.
The yield of oats is slightly below an
average, about twenty-five bushels per
acre. The product is fully GOO, 900. 600. In
h. WV ~ al CD If rol lurr
region the State averages range from
twenty-five to thirty bushels.
The barley yield is nearly 20 per cent.
less than q medium yield, or aoout twenty
bushels per acre. New York 20.3; MichI-
gan 1876; Wisconsin Is s.; Minnesota 49,:
Iowa 10: California 20 5.
The yield of rye is IL 5 bushels per acre
and the product about 24,000,000. There
hiss been q drop in condition of buck

The condition of potatoes has declined
from 67.5 to els, partly from appearance
of rot in the Atlantic States.
The condition of cotton has further de-
clined. The effect of drought in reducing
vitality end Nrtsting growth is more
apparent than on the first OF Septe "a Der.

sims largest Sity.
CHICAGO, October 6.-Swarms of people
again filled all the approaches TO the
Palmer House this morning, esgerly watch
ing for glimpse of President Cleveland
when he should emerge for a drive to the
International Military Encampment.
Crowds OF workmen and shop-girls on the
way to their daily tasks forgo', for the time
being, the toll before them and pressed
forward through the jam of country peo-
pie, and well dressed city sight seers. A
half dozen mounted police had no little
trouble clearing passage for the Pfesi-
dents carriage, which was drawn by four
spanking bays. The sky was lowering,
and every one was predicting rain would
fall before the President could make q
start. Not a drop fell, however. and at
S:45, Mr.. Cleveland, looking but little
worse for his Wholesale Handwriting of
the previous day, appeared at the arched
doorway. With hat DOTTED and many q
good natured bow to the cheering crowd,
be lightly sprang into the waiting carriage,
and in a trice was whirling through
the thick of the business district
and out Washington boulevard TO the en-
campment. He was accompanied By Mayor
Roche, General Terry and dozen lesser
dignitaries. Early as 1t was and threate-
ming as was the day, the sidewalks along
the entire route were lined with people,
including thousands, who. notwithstand-
ing strenuous all day and evening efforts
yesterday, had failed to see the President
or his wife In the general confusion pre-
vailing.
A ludicrous incident occurred at the en-
trance of the encampment grounds. The
Presidents carriage got stuck in the mud.
There was not a moments time to spare,
and the prancing bays were smartly dashed
with the whip. 1t was nip and tuck with
the mud, that was made thick and sticky
by the rain during the night. Finally the
vehicle containing the chief magistrate Of
the nation gave q terrific lunge forward (;
and was gone from the laughing, cheering
crowd. A rapid drive past the two or three
thousand troops drawn mp in line, q thun-
dering salute from the artillery. and bows
and smiles to the couple OF thousand spec
tators in the stands, completed the csre-
monies at the encampment. Without de-
lay, the President boarded q train for the
depot down town, from which the start for
